Introducing My Class!
05S27,
where we make our teachers scream (and we scream with them),
where the boys are "shy"
and the girls are nice.
We love mugging,
expressing our feelings,
erm... arranging ourselves according to height and acting cool?
Sometimes we lose control
and lose it totally!
Activities we do include dancing,
wasting time on the tree house
and more dancing!
We do sit down for a meal once in a while.
We do not leave anyone (or even everyone) behind,
as we push for number 1 together!
These make us who we are
05S27 screamz~
Bye Bye!

Lots of updates from the past few days.Farewell AssemblySo friday was farewell assembly. I guess it's one of the most enjoyable assemblies in my whole 2 years in VJC. Started with Mrs Chan's presentation and the 2 emcees funny introduction. I seriously wondered why they got the purcussion people to drown the atmosphere, although I have to admit joel's a pro at the xylophone. Then it was the icomp presentation which can now be viewed at youtube. Brought back lots of memories. The year 1 house committee skit was seriously amusing. In my opinion, their batch practically did everything better than my batch, even acting. In my batch, everything was done by the usual same few people, whereas there was so much contribution from everyone for them. At least that's how I see it, dunno if there's anything hidden thingy going on. Then it was the presentation of the house cup(which broke thereafter), to aquila and finally the presentation of our photo mosaic to the school. Wasn't the greatest response I had hoped for, but I was quite disappointed it wasn't mounted on that day itself as many of my friends wanted to take a picture with it. Went back to class for the admin stuff and lots of phototaking. Sadly, all the photos are still not with me. Played some really dumb games with the class at the tree house and left for lunch at pizza hut. I didn't expect almost everyone to head home after that, leaving only me, zuhao and juleng to head for settler's cafe. First time there for me, and I have to admit it's really kinda fun. Zuhao won the first 2 games before he left, leaving me and juleng. I won the third while she beat me slightly in the 4th. That maks the end of a dull yet pleasant last day in VJC.Open HouseDecided to drop by open house to reignite the victorian spirit in me and to lend support my juniors in their rara-ing. So much for my kindness! They made me act as their slave and I has to squat and do a duck-walk into school. joined the lao-jiao(old-bird) corner where the old victorians are. Met up with ashvin and practically was stuck to him for the rest of the day. I had to spend some time trying to mediate the "conflict' between ashvin and ruth, while the rest of the time was spent searching for cute girls around school. as usual, the mass dances was the most attractive of all, but I was quite embarassed to forget some of the steps in front of the house comm juniors. In the last session of mass dance, I decided to take off my slippers as they were really getting in the way. BIG MISTAKE! DON'T DANCE BAREFOOTED! Ended up having a small cut in the sole of my left foot which i was too embarassed to admit. So I passed on the friendship dance to pretend to go to the canteen, when i actually went to wash my feet. Actually, I really shouldn't have gone to open house. it drained all the energy out from me and spoilt the mugging day I had planned. I practically collapsed upon reaching home after lunch cum dinner with daryl and ivan.EnlistmentI finallt got my enlistment letter. January 26th. 7 weeks modified bmt. Pulau Tekong. BMTC School 2. I think I may be enlisting with ashvin. Yay! Fun times ahead.

Today was freaky thursday! On my way home from school at around 9.30pm, I suddenly thought about the farewell assembly the next day. I guessed they'll probably have vitamin c's graduation somewhere so I was singing softly to myself. Then I remembered I forgot about my dear carrie chong's say it with music so I got my handphone out to tune in. The station was playing graduation!...I felt a chill down my back.
11:59 AM - Tuesday, October 10, 2006
This is the start of my mugging week. Guess I'll have to try to come online less, maybe 2-3 times a week will be fine.The haze has been making me sick, the prevented me from studying over the weekend and I didn't go to the gym also. Feel damn unhealthy and unfit. Hope I get well soon so I can maintain a balanced lifestyle of good sleep, balanced diet, exercise and lots of mugging! At least it can keep me in shape for enlistment.By the way, I'm supposed to announce to joy was the one who sent the song "do I make you proud" to me. Ok, she was quite nice to specially download it for me. Maybe I'll really be proud of you when you make it through dancefloor!Today was a bloody tiring day. Initially I thought I'd restrict myself from playing floorball but the addiction was there. i eventually changed and my class played against s22. Guess it was probably the most tiring PE lesson I've experienced this year, and definitely the most physical game I've played recently. Everyone(or many people, rather) practically ran the whole court and got drained out by half time. Let in 2 goals accidently and changed to attcking. Quite glad I scored 2 goals! Eventually we lost 10-2 if I'm not wrong. In fact, I think s27 has never won a match against other classes before. Maybe we'll win academically?Went to Bras Basah with jenn haur to print the farewell gift for farewell assembly. The thingy cost $*** lahz. freaking expensive. But we chose a shop where the people were quite nice. They have nice namecards too. Managed to talk a bit with them, but jenn haur definitely got more exposure to them. It's ok, I've got their name cards! Yay! Ok, they're not exactly hot, so actually jenn haur can have them. Haha, guess I'm going crazy.

Econs today was rather disappointing. Despite scoring 17/25 for 2 essays, I failed one essay and case study and DRQ was rather bad for almost everyone. Ended up with a super low C or 59. Hence, to sum up my prelims grades,
Biology 59 C
Chemistry 68 B
Mathematics 66 B
Economics 59 C
General Paper 55 B4
Not a really impressive grade to boast about, but I guess it serves to indicate that I have improved since the DDEE I scored for mid-years. It also serves to push me on to try harder to achieve 4 As for A levels and hopefully a B3 for GP. Intensive mugging for me will begin...... Sunday! Think I'll have about 27 days to first paper for A levels.
Recently got addicted to the song "do i make you proud" by taylor hicks. Initially when I heard it on radio I thought it was quite a meaningful and nice song, not knowing who taylor hicks was and that the song was for the american idol final. Realised all these when I saw the video on youtube, and I really like the song. I think the thought of being able to sing a song to thank everyone who has helped and guided you on your way to what you have turned out to be when you rise to the top in whatever we strive for and achieving success in the end. It's simply amazing. I've dreamt of doing so, when I complete university and finally graduate, to sing this song to thank every person who has offered me a helping hand or simple accompanied me on the route to the end. Hope this day will eventually come. Anyway, in the meantime, maybe i can practise singing and I think it really makes singapore idol's "i dream" and "you give me wing" look like child's play.
Been having a dilemma recently, ever since firefly sent me an e-mail to apply for firefly scholarship. I mean, I have interest in the firefly scholarship since the career fair a while ago because STB is one of the boards under firefly. Going into tourism and hospitality is definitely what I hope for, and this scholarship certainly provides such an opportunity. I know the thought of me applying for a scholarship might make a couple of jaws drop, especially mrs mah, but I believe I'll never know until I try. But I've been thinking if it will really close my options for other careers. Studying a course like tourism will certainly not allow me to go into another field. I think I'm being greedy, wanting to grab a new opportunity yet not wanting to let another go? Maybe I'll end up losing both. Anyway, it's not like I'll definitely get it once I apply, and there's still 3 weeks to the closing of the application. Guess I'll have more time and space to really think all these over. I bet many other people in school are quietly applying for these too, while convincing others that they're not interested in it at all. Typical backstabbing.
I gave in to peer pressure and agreed with primero's idea of club med bintan trip. All expenses added will cost roughly $700. Wonder if it's extravagant?

I am still super tired these few days. The only good thing being the 5% moderation in chemistry, allowing me to up a grade from C to B. Econs will be tomorrow and I'm really not optimistic about it. Doubt I'll be able to get any monetary reward from my father for prelims. Shall have to work doubly hard for A-levels then. I realised that after the release of results for prelims, I'm starting to get pimples and my complexion is getting really bad. Weird because I'm supposed to feel stressed during the prelims and stress causes outbreak right? Maybe the results are even more stressful than the process itself. Been trying hard to get back my fitness and shape but losing my face. Can't seem to strike a balance. Manz, I'm talking like a metrosexual himbo. There's now a dilemma for me on the overseas trip after A-levels. On one side we have s27 going Hong Kong or Vietnam and on another side we have primero and gang going to bintan. Caught in the middle. But most importantly, I think my utmost consideration will be the programme and value for money. Wouldn't wanna spend a bomb to go over just to spend more on shopping because there isn't other stuff to do.Nothing much to update for today, but maybe much more tomorrow for econs paper! Anyway, tomorrow's the last day for our photo taking for the photo mosaic and sinc I think 75% of the year 2 cohort have not taken the picture yet, I guess... It's just too bad. Your picture will not appear on the present to school on farewell assembly! A great idea I thought at first, but with poor response from the school nd poor coordination among ourselves, i think we did the project a big disfavour. But I know it'll turn out alright. So people who haven't taken your pictures, try to catch jenn haur tomorrow to get your faces snapped!Year 1s exams have ended, enjoy yourselves!

I've been utterly tired these few days. Been falling asleep in lectures, on the bus, watching tv and everywhere else. Today I skipped econs lecture to reach home early to take a quick nap, but I slept from 4 to 8+. How am I going to start my mugging tomorrow?Got back GP today. Super disappointing. It's my lowest ever essay marks and a super low compe marks. Got 25 for essay of which I failed my content, getting 13/30 and got 28 for compre. Ended up having 53 which was 1.5 marks away from a B4. managed to add that miserable 1.5 marks to get me a B4. Super embarassed that I have to do something like that.So right now my grades stand at BCC B4, awaiting my econs results on friday as well as moderation for chem. But guess I'll have to start mugging before that, maybe from tomorrow onwards.Photos to share:Me and pretty cousin, Charmaine
My dad's birthday yesterday.

So Jinfeng left last night and has probably arrived in london. Hope everything goes well for him there!Got back results for 2 subjects until now. Chem was a relieve as i managed to hit my target of a C. Got 63 and perhaps with a bit of moderation I might even go up to B. Math was disappointing, especially paper 1. I had expected an A before the paper but after paper 1 all I hoped for was not worse than C. managed to get 77 for paper 2 but paper 1's 54 pulled my average down to 65.5, a super low B. Heard there wasn't going to be any moderation for math. My dad has promised $50 for each A i get for prelims and A levels and as it stand, my only hope for prelims is an A for econs. Hopefully the remaining subjects will be as I wish, A for econs, C for bio and at least b4 for GP.Pictures from chunhan's farewell (24/09/2006)me: hey can i borrow your phone? jiaming: nope you have acne!
handsome guys like shirts with cartoons. dark girls like bright shirts?!?!?!
